Air fryer fried pickles are crispy and crunchy with lots of great dill pickle flavor and they can be made right at home!
We are obsessed with all things pickle (and of course fried pickles) and this crunchy, tangy recipe tops the list. Simply dip in the coating and air fry!
Who doesn’t love crunchy dill pickles?
What Type of Pickles to Use?
Dill pickles are best for this recipe. Ensure your pickle slices aren’t too thin.
- Pickle spears – have the most pickle flavor and are the juiciest because the pickle is thicker.
- Pickle chips – or rounds are great for snacking. If making these, cut your own pickles to make them a bit thicker.
- Sliced pickles – we love the crunch of these pickles, they have a higher coating to pickle ratio. Slice your own from large pickles to have thicker slices.
Ingredients and Variations
PICKLES Choose your favorite shape of dill pickles (above). We love spears or thick slices.
BREADCRUMBS Panko bread crumbs add a great crunch to this recipe although seasoned bread crumbs will work in a pinch.
LOW CARB Version: Ditch the flour and use a bit of almond flour instead. Swap out Panko bread crumbs with a combination of almond flour and crushed pork rinds (season them). Eggs are keto so follow the same steps in the original recipe.
How to Fry Pickles in Air Fryer
Air fryer pickles are a weird and wonderful treat that takes just minutes to put together!
- Pat drained pickles dry with paper towel. Put flour in one bowl, egg mixture in another bowl, & Panko mixture in a third bowl.
- Dredge each pickle in flour, then egg mixture, then breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs into the coated pickles.
- Spray each pickle with cooking spray & place in air fryer. Cook for 5 minutes, turn over, & cook another 4 to 6 minutes or until crisp.
Tips for Frying Pickles
- Slice pickles yourself to get thicker slices (and more pickle in every bite).
- Dab the pickles dry before coating, this helps the coating stick.
- Work in batches by air frying pickles while breading other pickles.
- Just before serving all of the batches can be reheated for about 1 minute.
- Spray the pickles with cooking spray before putting them in the air fryer. Cooking spray can damage the basket.
What to Serve with Fried Pickles
Put the air fryer back to work on some of these appetizers! Air fryer taquitos, air fryer stuffed mushrooms, and some air fryer shrimp would all pair perfectly with fried pickles. Don’t forget a party pitcher of homemade lemonade or some tangy margaritas!
